Question
A positive charge of q is located 5.90 m to the left of
a negative charge q . The charges have different
magnitudes. On the line through the charges, the net
electric field is zero at a spot 1.11 m to the right of the
negative charge. On this line there are also two spots
where the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left of
the negative charge is one spot?(b) How far to the
right of the negative charge is the other?
